Forgot I have a huge bag of hcl creatine. Gunna start using again. Is it okay to go as high as 5 grams?

I think CD used it sometimes during his recovery and still does to this day but doesn't consider it a staple. He recommends HCL version because it doesn't cause bloating apparently.

Some people don't respond well to it though. Eg) @basementdweller I think it worsened his insomnia.
